MUMBAI, India, April 8, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Indian action movie "Dhurandhar: The Revenge" has swept domestic box-office records as the highest-earning Bollywood Hindi-language film, its producers said Wednesday, and is vying for other top spots. Beloved by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the high-octane and violent movie is the second chapter in the tale of an undercover Indian intelligence agent in arch-enemy Pakistan. It is the first Hindi film -- and only the third Indian movie -- to cross the landmark 10 billion-rupee ($108 million) mark in domestic takings, achieving the feat after 18 days. It has also become the the highest-grossing Indian film in North America, the first to exceed $25 million in takings. Still, some producers have pushed their film releases to wait for the box office queues for "Dhurandhar" to die down.
